Barata Tonta

Step out of the house, check the time
Let the hem of your dress flow
Close the door quietly

From your lips like blackberries
Peeks a cheeky smile
You’re stepping into trouble

Walks by me, says goodbye
And with a hurried pace
Disappears into the dark

Oh, for just one kiss from you
I’d sell my past away
And buy your future instead

Look who’s arriving so late
(The sun’s about to rise)
Shoes in hand, she comes

Still someone’s waiting for you
It’s me, the dumb cockroach
Tangled up in this passion

Walks by me, says goodbye
Checks the time and yawns
(She’ll go to bed still dressed)

Oh, for a dream of yours
Where I’d be the one to kiss you
I’d give up my whole life.
